Real Madrid first to reach La Liga milestone with 6000th goal

Los Blancos join an exclusive list of clubs in the top five leagues in Europe to reach the 6000-goal mark, and become the first Spanish side to do so

Real Madrid scored their 6000th La Liga goal in Sunday's clash with Real Betis, making them the first club to hit that mark in the Spanish top flight.

Madrid's third strike of the night — the second from Marco Asensio — pushed Los Blancos up to 6000, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema adding late goals as they stormed from behind to take a 5-3 win over Betis.

Only five other teams in Europe's top five leagues have managed to reach that mark in league play, with all of them in the English top flight.
